I'm with Vitalik. Anthropic will win a lot of fans if it does not back down. As part of my work with @blevlabs I had it run on all AI posts here on X today and had it write me a short essay on the AI news of the day, and the fight between the Pentagon and Anthropic is news

It will significantly increase my opinion of @Anthropic if they do not back down, and honorably eat the consequences. (For those who are not aware, so far they have been maintaining the two red lines of “no fully autonomous weapons” and “no mass surveillance of Americans”.

Here's hoping other tech companies start insisting that their products not be used for mass surveillance of Americans or launching a weapon with no human involved. [embedded post]
